It looks like the economy is forcing more couples to celebrate V-Day at home this year.

So if you're planning on replacing the night out with a night in, you might want to get a bottle of wine to go along with that box of chocolates you got her. Why? Because after peanut butter, wine is chocolate's favorite partner. The combination results in a unique and enhanced flavor explosion she'll love.

But not all wines work well with chocolate. So, to help you choose the wine that pairs best, I spoke to the grape lovers over at Bottlenotes.com and had them pull together a few of their favorites.

Three are very affordable and work with any budget, and a couple are a little more spendy, but hey, we're talking about making your girl happy. And if she aint happy, you aint happy.

Here are Bottlenotes' notes on wines that pair well with chocolate:
1. Cannonball Cabernet ($15/bottle)
Not every wine-chocolate pairing needs to be painfully thought through. Sometimes you want something to make an impromptu pairing happen with that extra piece of fine chocolate you have in the cabinet. If so, Cannonball is the answer for you. At $15, it seriously over-delivers in quality. With hints of cocoa powder in its chalky tannins, and juicy, wild berries, it’s a great complement to a piece of chocolate, whether Hershey’s or RICHART.

2. St. Barthelemy Zinfandel Port ($20/375 ml bottle)
With Zinfandel in and of itself a classic chocolate pairing, its slightly hint of wild strawberry makes an excellent complement to chocolate, milk or dark.

3. Judd’s Hill Zinfandel ($29.99/bottle)
Again, with Zinfandel a classic chocolate pairing, with its robust tannins, often slightly jammy body, and stewed/brandied cherry notes, the Judd’s Hill “Zin” fits the bill without breaking the bank.

4. Sullivan “Coeur de Vigne” Estate Bottled 2004 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($90)
This velvety Cabernet is bold enough to stand up to a hearty chocolate, yet its chalky tannins are velvety enough not to overpower the nuances of chocolate.

5. Zacherele Port ($90/750 ml bottle)
Nile Zacherle began his career as a brewmaster, and his initial claim to fame in wine was having served as the lead winemaker at cult Barnett Vineyards. His proprietary brand, Zacherle, is one of the Bottlenotes’ perennial favorites; his Port is literally not available anywhere else online. With hints of brandied cherries and chocolate, what a perfect pairing it would be for chocolate fondu on a romantic evening.
